Common call-outs are for a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and tenement windows.
Outdoor sealant needs a dry surface, so window work around Marybank is planned around the weather. Let us know about access to every frame, including any upstairs.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints, depending on how much there is to do. Around Marybank, distance and access matter more than parking. Tell us how to find the property and how to reach the work, and the visit is planned around that.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What else we do in Marybank
How the job changes by surface
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. If your home is listed, ask your local planning authority about consent.
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. The gap round it is pointed with sand mastic.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
- Sashes that need overhauling
If in doubt, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and we will say what we think.

Windows and doors in Marybank
The west of Scotland is wetter than the east, so there’s plenty of rain for the mastic around older windows and doors to keep out. Sash and case windows are common in older Scottish homes, and the joint between the box frame and the stone or render is traditionally pointed with sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Muir of Ord station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across all of Scotland. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Not straight away. It skins first and hardens fully later and we’ll give you an idea for your job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What does sand mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, send an email to info@mrmastic.co.uk and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is consent needed for window work on a listed home?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like, but they decide.
Do you need sand mastic in Marybank?
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows, which is a good time to renew it.

- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look

Around Marybank, as everywhere, sand mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
